Advice for nose breathing where my ears aren't popping constantly?
When I run I usually breathe through my mouth. But a trainer of mine said that I should be breathing through my nose if I want more natrual energy. Ive noticed my energy levels boost up when I try running with my nose breathing. But my ears pop like crazy and it drives me nuts.
Any advice? When Im at home I wear a mask covering my nose/ears, and my mouth exposed, and it seems like its helped not pop at all. But it would look ridicolous if I ran with it out in public. Advice is needed.

Severe Thigh Pain when Running
I am training for a marathon. For the last three weeks, I’ve had severe inner thigh pain when running. Some mornings I wake up stiff and just hurt; not my norm. I took one week off to see if it would help. Today I attempted a 5K and had to stop.
I do a pre-run walk and stretch. I’m lost. I got new shoes last week ; thinking it would relieve the pain.
Help. Not sure if I need a chiropractor, doctor, or if I can even run a marathon 😭 I’m only 29, it feels too early to hurt this bad.

Is a 7 minute time good for someone who's only ran a mile twice?
So for reference my local grocery store is a mile away from me so I use it to track my progress. Ive only ran a full mile twice and I'm averaging about 7 minutes on my time.
I'm 30 and I just recently started trying to get into running more. I usually play DDR as my cardio and I just want some advice on how I can shave my time down to 6 minutes.
